Independence Hall

Philadelphia, PA

An idyllic landmark to represent freedom from slavery, Independence Hall was a gathering place for abolitionist activities as well as anti-slavery speeches from Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Independence Hall is the birthplace of America. The Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were both debated and signed inside this building. The legacy of the nation’s founding documents – universal principles of freedom and democracy – has influenced lawmakers around the world and distinguished Independence Hall as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
